Comment below any recipes you’d like! 🌻 Some weeks the fridge looks like a barren wasteland, and there doesn’t seem to be much in season. Though I’m growing my own vegetables this year, nothing is ready to eat yet, so I’m trying to get creative with what I can find. Wild garlic season is my absolute favourite, so I’ll be making some pesto and preserving it in jars for future months to have with homemade pasta, especially my favourite silky handkerchiefs (thanks for the constant inspo @gennarocontaldo !). I’ll also be using up any old scraps of veg in pickles and ferments. And while I’m busy gardening, I’ll be relying on quick, easy dinners like burgers. That’s the thing with trying to eat local, seasonal food- month to month, your diet never looks the same. Sometimes there’s an abundance of one food to the point where you get sick of eating it, and sometimes it feels like there’s not much on offer at all. I’m learning it’s all about making the most of the season you’re in, and trying to enjoy it and saver it for future seasons when you’ll undoubtedly miss what you have now. So that’s another week in my kitchen!! What recipes would you like me to share? Comment below and I’ll drop them on my stories. . . . #cookingfromscratch #fromscratchcooking #homecooking #mealideas #familyrecipes #familydinner #seasonaleating

Cauliflower cheese recipe 👇🏻 Okay but does anyone else forget cauliflower even exists? They're never on my shopping list, but I saw these huge cauliflowers at the farmers market the other day and they looked so good I had to pick some up. I tried to think of something different and unusual to use them in but let's be real- what could be better than smothering them with cheese? Ingredients: 1 large head of cauliflower 250g of cheddar, grated 2 tbsp of plain flour 500ml milk (give or take, may need more) Knob of butter For the crumb: Cauliflower stem (save it when you're slicing off the florets) Panko bread crumbs (or normal bread crumbs as an alternative) Mixed dried herbs Method: Slice the cauliflower into large florets and put into a saucepan. Finely dice the cauliflower stalk until you have a fine crumb and put this aside for later. Boil the cauliflower florets for a few minutes until slightly softened but still firm in the centre. Drain and allow to cool. To make the cheese sauce, melt a knob of butter in the bottom of a saucepan. Once melted, add about two tablespoons of flour and stir quickly until it forms a thick paste. Then, quickly before it catches and burns, add the milk slowly and stir constantly. If there isn't enough liquid or it's looking a bit thick, add more milk or you can use water. Once you have a smooth sauce, stir in half of the grated cheese until melted then remove from the heat. For the crumb, place a frying pan over medium heat and add a knob of butter. Once melted add the cauliflower stems and fry until they begin to get some colour. Add in the breadcrumbs and herbs and keep frying until the crumb is golden brown. Remove from the heat and get ready to assemble. Place the cauliflower florets into a baking dish or skillet, then pour over the cheese sauce, sprinkle over the cauliflower crumb and remaining cheese. Bake at 180°C for 20 mins or place under the grill until golden brown and bubbling. #cauliflowercheese #comfortfood #cookingfromscratch #cauliflower #wholesomefood #eatyourveggies

A little throwback to this old lasagne cook up 🍅 👇🏻 The ultimate comfort food and so fun to put together. This dish is perfect for making in big batches and freezing (or just feeding a lot of people like I was here!) Here's the recipe for two large 40×32cm baking dishes (the quantities vary a bit depending on size of dish and taste so I have made them generous). Meat sauce: 4kg of beef mince Half a head of celery 1kg of carrots 8 × 400g tins of tomatoes Jar of tomato purée Cheesy béchamel: 250g butter Plain flour (quantity variable but about 100g) 2 litres of milk 1kg of cheese (save some for the topping as well) 700 g dried lasagne sheets Method: Finely chop the celery and carrots (you can grate the carrots if it's easier). Add to a large pan and cook for 10 mins or so, then remove. Brown the mince in batches and then once it is all browned, add back in the carrot and celery. Add the chopped tomatoes and puree and bring to a simmer for 30 mins while you make the béchamel sauce. For the béchamel, add 250g of butter to a large saucepan and heat until melted. Add the flour in stages whilst whisking. Once it forms a thick paste add the milk slowly and in stages, whisking all the while to ensure it doesn't catch on the bottom. Once all of the milk is added, keep it on the heat and keep whisking until is begins to simmer, then stir in your grated cheese. Keep whisking until all the cheese is added and you have a glossy white sauce. Season to taste and remove from the heat. Layer your lasagne. Add a small amount of meat sauce in the bottom of the tray to act as a base to laver the first few lasagne sheets on top of. Once your lasagne sheets are laid out, then add a generous layer of meat sauce, followed by white sauce, then lasagne sheets again. Repeat as many times as you like until you reach the top of the tray. For the final layer, add the lasagne sheets, then white sauce (not the meat sauce this time) and top with cheese. Bake in the oven at 180°C fan for about 45 mins or until golden and bubbly. #lasagne #lasagnebolognese #comfortfood #batchcook #batchcooking #wholesomefood #cookingfromscratch
